Seeing that the talk was getting more and more outrageous, Old Madam Shen felt as if she was seeing a black screen in front of her eyes.

"Second, third, and fourth wives, why don't you shut their mouths now!"

"If you can't speak, don't speak. You have embarrassed yourself from Jiangnan to the capital."

Shen Shuniang and Shen Huiniang looked at each other. Something was wrong. Something was wrong at home!

"Fifth sister, sixth sister, stop talking!"

"Lan Xi, is there nothing to do in the court today? Why are you back so early?"

"Housekeeper, hurry up and ask the chef to make a few more dishes and stew a bowl of nourishing soup!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, the butler quickly took the job with an apologetic smile and left.

The whole family's reaction made Shen Shuniang and Shen Huiniang feel a little uneasy.

They then remembered that before the Shen family's incident, they had not had much contact with Lan Xi. The few times they saw her, they were polite.

The tone they used just now might be fine for other nephews and nieces, but not for Shen Lanxi!

The more I thought about them, the paler they became.

"Lan Xi, your two aunts haven't seen you for a long time. They are so happy that they have forgotten their limits."

"Grandma promises that they won't dare to do that again in the future."

Old Madam Shen's humble words made Shen Shuniang, Shen Huiiang and the children they brought with them dumbfounded.

This is not talking to a granddaughter, this is coaxing the ancestors!

"Look at my mouth!" Shen Shuniang scratched her face in a pretentious manner.

"Lan Xi, I'm sorry. That's how my aunt is. She can say nice things, but sometimes they turn into bad things when people hear them."

When Shen Huiniang saw Shen Shuniang's sullen face, she quickly slapped her face twice.

"Lan Xi, my aunt brought some sweet-scented osmanthus chestnuts and glutinous rice from Jiangnan. She has asked someone to soak them. I will make you Jiangnan-style sweet-scented osmanthus cake and chestnut cake tonight."

"And ham and dried whitebait."

Shen Shuniang and Shen Huiniang tried hard to smooth things over.

Shen Lanxi remained silent and the atmosphere became tense.

"Grandmother, my two aunts live in your courtyard. There are some places in the Protectorate Mansion that outsiders cannot go to."

Madam Shen said quickly: "Don't worry, grandma will definitely keep an eye on them and won't let them wander around!"

Shen Lanxi hummed: "I have to go out in a while, no need to wait for me for lunch!"

"it is good!"

Shen Lanxi changed into casual clothes and left again.

……

"Mother, Lan Xi is like this, it's scary!" Shen Shuniang didn't dare to speak until Shen Lan Xi left for a while.

Old Madam Shen frowned and gave instructions to her two daughters.

"If you want to be safe, don't provoke her, okay?"

Shen Hui Niang was not convinced and began to ask, "Mother, why? As an elder, why are you so afraid of a younger person? If this gets out, people will laugh at you to death."

Madam Shen rolled her eyes at her two daughters and said, "What do you know? Go outside and ask around when you have time to find out what the people in the capital are saying about her."

Do they think she wants this?

It's because I'm afraid and scared.

'Mother, why do you have to go outside to ask? You can't tell us! "

"Yes, there is no one out there who is as detailed as you say. If they are talking nonsense, should we believe them or not?"

"That's right, mother, you should tell us, or we can ask a few sisters-in-law!"

Old Madam Shen was afraid that her sons would tell her the most embarrassing thing, so she quickly stopped them and explained, "Lan Xi is no longer the same person she used to be. I don't believe you haven't heard anything about her in Jiangnan."

Shen Shuniang curled her lips: "I heard about it, but I think it sounds weird."

What about taking over Dongchuan and Northwest one after another? Before the Shen family got into trouble, they often stayed at the Shen family and had never heard of Shen Lanxi practicing martial arts.

"Mother, maybe they are exaggerating."

"It must be our Shen family that is backing Shen Lanxi, right?"

"Even if she's not from our Shen family, she's still a princess. What's the point of building such a reputation for a woman? It's better to support the male protagonist of our family."

"Yes, the princess is too partial. Mother and elder brother don't try to persuade her."

Seeing that her two daughters were talking more and more outrageously, Old Lady Shen continued to hit them.

"What do you know? The Duke of Huguo Mansion was earned by Lan Xi alone. It has nothing to do with the family."

As for whether it has anything to do with the princess, it’s hard to say.

But it is also a fact that Shen Lanxi was loved and cared for by the palace before, so it is reasonable to favor her.

Shen Shuniang and Shen Huiniang both curled their lips. They didn't believe it.

If women are so capable, what is the need for men?

Women are naturally inferior to men. Not to mention fighting in battle, even when it comes to farming, women are not as strong as men.

My mother must be afraid of the royal family, so she thinks highly of Shen Lanxi.

"Mother, His Majesty governs the country with filial piety, and he cannot stand people who do not respect their elders. If Lan Xi's attitude towards you gets out, it will definitely be criticized!"

"Mother, my elder brother is an official in the court and he values ​​his reputation. Lan Xi is still young and doesn't know many etiquettes. My elder brother will not discipline her too much for the sake of face. You will have to discipline the younger generations of the Shen family."

"It was so good before our Shen family had any troubles. We were a harmonious family and there weren't so many taboos."

"That's right. I really miss the old days of our Shen family. At that time, everyone in the family respected my mother, and no one said anything when we two daughters came back to stay for a while."

"It's not like now, the whole family is estranged, and when we come, they want to drive us away immediately. How can people behave like this!"

Shen Shuniang and Shen Huiniang were talking back and forth, and Old Lady Shen started to refute and rebuke them. But in the end, I don't know if she had no energy or if she had taken it all in, she just listened silently without saying a word.

……

As the date of Emperor Renxiao's birthday banquet was approaching, envoys from all over the world had almost arrived.

But there were no envoys sent by the two rebel kings.

As usual, Shen Lanxi and Zhou Ruyuan greeted them at the post station.

"In Lord Shen's opinion, could it be that the two rebels are afraid of our Great Zhou and won't come?"

Not only were there envoys, but there were also officials from various places. The grand and prosperous scene they created was so moving that even Zhou Ruyuan felt his heart surge when he saw it.

Shen Lanxi: "Your Majesty has already sent people to investigate, you and I don't need to worry!"

Zhou Ruyuan looked at the person drinking tea leisurely in a corner. She broke the precedent of women serving as officials in the court, but unfortunately she didn't know how to manage things. With just a title, she was doomed to not go far.

It would be great if the Royal Guards under her name were incorporated into his command.

Zhou Ruyuan thought of the advice given by Mr. Caolu and his eyes became dim.

Bai Qingling arrived around noon.

"Your Majesty, Lord Shen!"

As court officials welcoming the envoy, Zhou Ruyuan and Shen Lanxi were supposed to accompany the envoy for dinner.

"Why are you here?" Zhou Ruyuan didn't expect Bai Qingling to come over. He frowned subconsciously and glanced to his side.

Shen Lanxi smiled and said, "The princess is really as beautiful as a flower. When the prince and the princess stand together, they are really a perfect match!"

Zhou Ruyuan felt depressed.

Bai Qingling smiled like a flower, but there was a flash of contempt in her eyes.
